Summary Introduction

To explain:

A labeled diagram of a cell indicating the movement of water inside and outside the cell when the solutes are added inside the cell and later in the solution.

Introduction:

The movement of water molecules is facilitated and directed by the concentration of solute in the cell as well as in the solution. The water molecules always move along the gradient from their higher concentration to their lower concentration.
